It turns out that organizations have issues with their identity as well. The issue at hand centers on the fact that Cooperative Extension is a critical component of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the UA. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>It is important to recognize the vital connection between CALS and Cooperative Extension. First of all, CALS is the only college base for Cooperative Extension at the UA. Secondly, at many land-grant universities Cooperative Extension functions as a separate entity from the CALS. It is important for Cooperative Extension to consistently demonstrate that we are a key and unique component of CALS within the UA. Both CALS and Cooperative Extension benefit from that recognition along with our proud affiliation with the UA. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The solution to resolving the identity issue includes consistently: 1) identifying our Cooperative Extension system with CALS, and 2) indicating our relationship to the UA. Robert Casler from ECAT, working directly with the Dean’s office, is developing guidelines and format for labeling and co-branding UA-CALS-Cooperative Extension that we can uniformly adopt and implement across CALS Extension.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I expect these guidelines to be presented soon. When we have these labeling and co-branding guidelines, we need to incorporate them into our mode of action immediately and consistently. In the meantime, I fully expect all facets of Cooperative Extension to continue generating and disseminating information and programs in collaboration with our many stakeholder groups in an assertive and professional manner. You don’t need to wait for some official decree from above. Continue with your work and be mindful of how you label and brand your programs, activities and products with UA-CALS-Cooperative Extension. When the new guidelines do come forth, we will all benefit from using these new guidelines effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>FOCUS ON FACULTY:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Congratulations to <b>Mark Apel</b> for receiving awards at his professional association conference.

Go to the Control Panel and start the Action Center applet. In the Action Center window click Maintenance, then under Check for Solutions to Problem Reports, click View Reliability History. The Reliability Monitor window will open. The Reliability Monitor contains a LOT of technical details, which is great for techs working on a computer. However, the main detail most non-tech types would be interested in is the top graphical line which ranges from 1-10. If the line consistently stays in the upper range, all is good. If the line stays in the lower range or takes a dip from the upper range, then something is causing a problem and the reliability monitor can help you or a tech troubleshoot the computer. The Reliability Monitor is intended for advanced computer users, such as software developers and network administrators. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>NEW & REVISED PUBLICATIONS:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/crops/az1571.pdf">An Introduction to the Use of Reference Strips for N Management in Durum Wheat</a> by Guangyao (Sam) Wang <b><i>[new]</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/health/az1439.pdf">Assessment of Doneness in Cooked Ground Beef</a> by Scottie Misner and Evelyn Whitmer <b><i>[revised]</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/health/az1091.pdf">Additional Turkey Cooking Methods</a> by Scottie Misner and Evelyn Whitmer <b><i>[revised]</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/consumer/az1431.pdf">Identity Theft: Simple Guide to Protecting Yourself</a> by Evelyn Whitmer <b><i>[revised]</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>SUMMER OF INNOVATION MINI GRANTS:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The National Space Grant Foundation is working with the NASA Summer of Innovation office to administer the awarding of approximately 200 mini-grants ($2,000-$2,500 per grant) to community and school-based organizations that inspire and engage middle school students in STEM disciplines during the summer or in after school programs.
